If you are going to leave them then leave for a better reason than money. The NASUWT/NUT let us all down when they dangled the pay increase carrot when new labour wanted to impose the gtce....the teachers voted for ....yep...the money! Leave those unionist cowards for a reason mate!

Actually, it is a good question as you have to say that you are leaving in writing. A phone call isn't acceptable and they will continue to take the money if you don't. Apparently as a union is not specifically a commercial business, you need to write and cancel the membership.

Nope,just throw them out of your bank account! I walked away from the NASUWT (as they are backing the gtce and new labour) simply phoned em and went on my merry way. Sadly the other unions are just as weak/idle,so Iam unionless...feels good!
